 @joepie91:pixie.town | vcunat: my comment about avoiding the "is a military needed" topic was a response to "you are speaking from a privileged position" | 11:55:16 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | it is not related to any of the other points being discussed | 11:55:26 |
 vcunat | Oh, I understood it the way that the "military" were the unprivileged in this case, opposed by the others. My bad I guess, I don't know. | 11:56:45 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | vcunat: to clarify (according to my understanding): Arian was making the point that I was speaking from a privileged position regarding "do we need military or not", on the premise that I am not in a war-torn country, and therefore not in a position to speak on the matter. I then responded that I am not speaking from a privileged position, because I wasn't making any assertions about needing militaries at all, precisely because of those complexities - and rather, I'm talking about the way that some community members feel comfortable behaving not just around the topic of Anduril but also previous conflicts, none of which are influenced by whether I am in a war-torn country | 12:03:22 |

| vcunat | Yes, I agree, retrospectively. | 12:03:49 |
 Arian | Your summary is correct joepie | 12:08:29 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | (FYI, setting the thread to slow mode does not solve the problem, and it is continuing to be a trashfire) | 15:53:55 |
| vcunat | Suggesting some solution might help. (to the moderation team; others probably can't enforce it) | 15:57:45 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | I did, several years ago. | 15:58:47 |
| vcunat | We could close the topic. | 15:58:49 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | actually starting to moderate bad-faith arguing. | 15:59:00 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | including sealioning and other forms of concern trolling. | 15:59:14 |
| vcunat | Most of the latest posts got hidden, probably due to user flags. (also your last post; I can't see why... perhaps I don't think I have sufficient privileges) | 16:02:55 |

| vcunat | Well, I'm not a best person to try moderating discussions anyway. | 16:03:27 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | they seem to be auto-hidden due to 'community flags', ie. a number of people flagging it | 16:03:42 |
| vcunat | I might've even made this topic worse by my posts. | 16:03:48 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | based on the automated messages I have gotten from Discourse | 16:03:52 |
